Weekly Rewind
Hi Friends! It’s been a busy week around here! The slower days of Summer have made their way right into Fall (yes, I know it’s still Summertime but August starts Fall for bloggers). I’ve started decorating a little around the house…even with the eye rolls from my son!
My hot glue gun hasn’t moved off of my kitchen island because I’ve been using it so much. The busy season has definitely started here on Bunker Hill!
There are so many DIYs that I want to share with you all this Fall but I don’t know if there will be enough hours a week to get them all done! But I will guarantee that I have a list of projects with my readers in mind that I think you will love and hopefully be inspired to recreate for your own homes.

We have had the craziest storms this Summer in New England…so…much…rain!! On Friday we had waves of intense thunderstorms all afternoon and evening.
I was inside watching the local news when everything started glowing pink. I grabbed my camera and ran outside to capture the unusual sky right before a big clap of thunder scared me and I ran back into the house!
We are trying to enjoy the last few weeks of Summer weather in New England. We headed up to Maine to our friend’s lake house for a fun day of food, laughs, and boating. Mostly laughs.
Also, please, no one mention that I forgot one of my yummy dips at home in the fridge.. this crack dip.
Oh, but our friend Lynn made this Easy Mediterranean Chickpea Salad and it was a hit, so yummy!!
